Youth Choir: 2:30-4:30

When? Sunday, April 2

Where? Raymond Building, McGill MacDonald Campus, Ste Anne-de-Bellevue, Room 4-045 (I believe the 4th floor!) Below the map shows where it is in relation to the church in Ste Anne.

I need a parent from the CC who can stay from 2-2:45 at the door to let in the youth choir members at 2:30 as the main door may be locked. Any volunteers?

email me at: choirs.conservatory@mcgill.ca

Also, McGill Conservatory will pay a good portion of the bus fee to for Kingston trip therefore it will cost you only $20 for the bus trip per child.

Also, I will send out a rough itinerary for April 8 & 9 with info about meals as well and email it by the end of the week. You will have a detailed one next week.

Looking forward to seeing the choristers on Sunday!

Mille mercis!

Children’s Choir – extended rehearsal tomorrow 5-7 p.m.!!

Dear Parents,

If at all possible, could your child stay to rehearse with the Youth Choir until 7 pm tomorrow? We now need time to both practice our songs for the Kingston concert (and of course our other upcoming concerts!) and to put together our music with the Youth choir for Kingston, in particular.

This was noted in the schedule I handed out to the choristers. If it isn’t possible and if you have children who are 8 years and even younger, it may be too long for them. Please let me know tomorrow if they will go at 6:30.

I hope the older singers in the CC can stay!!!

As well, an extra rehearsal on Sunday, April 2 for those participating in the Kingston trip, and to all choristers, will be held on MacDonald Campus from 2-4:30.

CC will be from 2-4 p.m. I will email more details this week!

Many thanks!

Dear Parents,

Once again I apologize for having to cancel Monday’s rehearsal. I am not yet better but am on the mend!

Please ensure your singers look over their music, especially:

L’été

Les amours, les travaux

On the back of an eagle

I’se the B’y

the words in “Where go the boats” (middle section for Youth choir)

Reminder that we will have an extra rehearsal on April 2 i the afternoon and it will be on MacDonald Campus in Ste Anne. I will give more details early next week.

Thank you all & see you on Monday!

Rehearsal in room C310 from 3:15-5:00.

Leave for Christ Church and rehearsal begins at 5:30 p.m.

What to bring:

Uniform, black shoes, music, water bottle, packed supper and healthy snack (nothing sticky or messy and no junk food!)

Girls with long hair – it must be put back!!!!

I need two parent chaperones to be with me during this time or two for the rehearsal and then two from 5:30 until the concert begins at Christ Church. Please let me know by emailing me at: choirs. conservatory@mcgill.ca

Many thanks,

Penni
